Seniors Actively Living Today - SALT

We are all salt of the earth.  Seniors definitely fit in this category because we can add flavor to our own lives while enriching the lives of our families.  Plan to be a part of this vibrant senior group.  Hope to see you whenever you can make an event geared especially to you.

Each month we will sponsor an event that will rotate with Learn and Grow, Service and Social. 

Past events and activities:

• Alive and Kickin, musical theatre at Bloomington Center for the Arts
• Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, day in the park
• Game days
• Guest speakers
• Museum tours
• Live shows

Recipe Exchange & Discussion

Friday, June 5, 10:30 a.m.
We’ll have a recipe exchange and discussion.  Be thinking of one of your everyday cooking recipes that’s simple, convenient, and tasty.  One of our members will collect the recipes ahead of time, collate them, and put them into a document which you will receive via email after the event.  Please email your choice of a recipe to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) before 6/5.  Looking forward to some new recipes.  Aren’t we all tired of our old ones? Zoom Meeting: Recipe Exchange

Tai Chi Breathing

Friday, June 12, 10:30 a.m.
Deep breathing can help lower blood pressure, reduce anxiety and improve general well-being, so we’ll learn some Tai Chi breathing techniques.  The exercises will be led by Immanuel’s by Dawn Stover, a physical therapist in the Park Nicollet system.  Zoom Meeting: SALT - Tai Chi Breathing

Unlock Your Clutter

Friday, June 19, 10:30 a.m.
We’ll hear from Michele Vig, Founder + Chief Organizer at Neat Little Nest, who will help unlock us from our clutter in order to create the beautifully organized spaces we’ve always dreamed about.

Michele says: “Neat Little Nest’s mission allows me to be a resource in transforming lives. By sifting through life’s clutter I help people reconnect with the things that bring them joy and joyfully discard the things that don’t. This organically leads one down a path of living a most desired life.”
